Why Munich Kastell?
Not an Ordinary Camp – A Castle with History
Schwaneck Castle was built in 1843 and is situated in the magnificent Isar Valley, surrounded by extensive grounds. Fully modernised, yet retaining all its historic charm – a unique learning environment.
A real castle – since 1843
Schwaneck Castle is not just a backdrop. It is a genuine historic castle. Living and learning within the castle walls, with a courtyard, grounds and views of the Isar Valley. An experience that young people won’t forget in a hurry.
Spacious Park Right by the River
The castle grounds are located directly next to the River Isar, with a huge park, sports areas and plenty of open space. Peaceful enough for studying, exciting enough for every afternoon.
Right on Munich’s doorstep
The castle is situated on the southern outskirts of Munich and is well connected to the S-Bahn. Marienplatz, the English Garden, Bavaria Film Studios – all are easily accessible.
Coming together, listening and taking part. The group activities at the Munich Castle Summer Camp are the moments when strangers become friends and German suddenly no longer feels like a foreign language.

Small groups. Experienced teachers. Historic walls that have heard many things over the years, but never so many languages at once. The German course at the Munich Castle works because it is different.

What Parents Ask Us
What exactly is Burg Schwaneck?
Burg Schwaneck is a real historic castle dating back to 1843, located in the Isar Valley south of Munich. It has been fully modernised and today offers classrooms, accommodation, a dining hall and leisure facilities – all within a safe and spacious castle complex.
What is the difference between 20 and 25 lessons per week?
A lesson lasts 45 minutes. With 20 lessons per week, there is more time between lessons and the leisure programme.

The leisure programme and excursions are the same for both options.

24/7 supervision by experienced educational staff. The castle grounds are fenced and secure – your child can move around freely without ever being on their own.
What language level does my child need?
Courses are available from A1.2–A2 up to B2–C1. Beginners with basic prior knowledge are welcome. Placement test on the first day – maximum 15 students per group.
